Poyning had to leave England very quickly after taking part in a failed revolt against Richard III in 1483. He became associated with the future Henry VII while in exile and was later rewarded by being appointed Lord Deputy to Ireland , where he made the Irish Parliament subordinate to the English Parliament in order to reduce Yorkist influences. Upon his return to England in 1496 he enjoyed other military and civil posts.
